Universal is one of the oldest names in the cast iron and housewares business. Universal was established in 1842, we originally started with our cast iron food and meat choppers. 15 years ago Universal decided that their next natural decision was to add pre-seasoned cast iron cookware to our already well established cast iron line. When you think of Universal cast iron you think dependability and reliability.

Universal pre-seasoned cookware is ready to use once it enters your kitchen. We have our factory coat each skillet with vegetable oil and bake it at a high temperature to make your cookware a natural and easy-release cooking surface.

The secret to home-style cooking is in the pans you use the Universal 3pc. Skillet Set is just the set your kitchen needs. This set contains 3 of our most popular skillets. Just like the ones Grandma use to have. Best used with a wooden, silicone or nylon utensils.

Care Instructions:

For best results hand wash, dry immediately. To prolong the life of your cookware we do recommend re-seasoning your cookware when needed. If you notice your cookware starts looking dull, gray in color, food starts sticking to the surface of your cookware, or you notice rust, just follow the following steps to re-season your cookware.

How to re-season cookware:

When you wash your cookware make sure you dry it really good. Place aluminum foil to the bottom rack of your oven to catch any dripping during this process. Pre-heat your oven to 350 or 400 degrees. Apply a thin coating of melted vegetable shortening (or cooking oil of your choice) over the entire piece of cookware inside and out. Place cookware upside down on the top rack of the oven. Bake your cast iron cookware for one hour. After one hour shut off your oven and let your cast iron cookware cool off in the oven. Repeat this process as necessary. Once cookware is cool to the touch, store it in a dry place.

What to do if rust occurs:

If rusting occurs, simply scour the rust until it is all gone, clean, dry, and follow the steps for seasoning.
